At the show’s heart, The Dynasty lies the talismanic relationship between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick—a legendary partnership that succumbed to the test of time because of the relentless pursuit of perfection. As the show delves beyond the headlines, it covers the many highs and lows in the two great men’s relationship.
The central theme runs around Brady’s departure from the New England Patriots, giving viewers an understanding of their dynamic.

Based on how things had gone, I wouldn’t sign up for more of it.”
